The Western Digital WD10JPVT Scorpio Blue 2.5" 1TB SATA Hard Drive is the new and small drive that offers a high-performance, low power consumption, and cool operation that is perfect for most laptops and portable devices. While 1TB is not the largest capacity on the market for a drive of the 2.5-inch design, most current 1TB or larger drives, including the previous 1TB WD Scorpio Blue, come in the 12.5mm thickness standard and therefore are not compatible with most existing laptops. This 1TB Western Digital WD10JPVT Scorpio Blue is the first 1TB internal 2.5-inch hard drive for laptops that has the same 9.5mm thickness as drives of smaller capacities.

Laptop Drives are the smaller form factor (2.5”) drives, typically found in laptops, Low-Profile PCs and some Consumer Electronic equipment.
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard drives are quickly becoming the new standard in hard drive technology. Motherboard manufacturers now include SATA inputs on their boards. SATA hard drives result in less clutter and increased airflow in the computer system because SATA cables are 400 percent narrower than EIDE cables.
Some older computer system motherboards don't have SATA ports but a PCI SATA controller card can be installed to add support for SATA drives. If you don't know whether your computer has SATA ports on the motherboard, refer to your computer or motherboard documentation or contact the motherboard manufacturer.
